“At 28, Brown looks like a prototypical AAAA player. Although he showed
flashes of power at the big league level last season, slugging .429 while
hitting five home runs in limited time with the Rockies, Brown doesn’t appear
to have the patience or pitch recognition skills necessary to consistently
produce at the highest level. In addition, Brown provides little to no
defensive value. Brown has spent the last two years tearing up the Pacific
Coast League, and that won’t change in 2013 if he ends up in Triple-A with the
Mets moving to Las Vegas. The Mets and their fans should take extreme caution
if Brown gets off to a torrid start, as things likely wouldn’t translate well
from Las Vegas to Citi Field in Queens.”

Great. Sounds like
a ‘mile high’ Val
Pascucci. I guess this is what you get when you bottom fish and, right
now, the more bodies the better. Let’s see, where do we stand for camp: Righties:
Brown and Collin Cowgill. Lefties: Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Jordany Valdespin, Mike Baxter, Lucas Duda.
Also on the 40-man are Cesar Puello and Juan Lagares who are not ready.
